The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion -- Book - A Gentle Cynic

BOOK ONE — INTRODUCTION
The motive of this work is simply a desire to make facts known to the people. Other
motives have, of course, been ascribed to it. But the motive of prejudice or any form of
antagonism is hardly strong enough to support such an investigation as this. Moreover, had an
unworthy motive existed, some sign of it would inevitably appear in the work itself. We
confidently call the reader to witness that the tome of these articles is all that it should be. The
International Jew and his satellites, as the conscious enemies of all that Anglo-Saxon mean by
civilization, are not spared, nor is that unthinking mass which defends anything that a Jew does,
simply because it has been taught to believe that what Jewish leaders do is Jewish. Neither do
these articles proceed upon a false emotion of brotherhood and apology, as if this stream of
doubtful tendency in the world were only accidently Jewish. We give the facts as we find them;
that of itself is sufficient protection against prejudice or passion.
This volume does not complete the case by any means. But it brings the reader along one
step. In future compilations of these and subsequent articles the entire scope of the inquiry will
more clearly appear.

From Volume Two
“Jewish Activities in the United States”
A former volume, containing the first twenty articles in the series of Jewish studies which
began their appearance in The Dearborn Independent of May 22, 1920, dealt largely with the
theory of the Jewish World Program. The present volume gives a general view of some of the
evidence which illustrates and substantiates that Program. As the first volume brought the
subject forward a step, the present volume brings it forward another step. The Question is a very
big one, the material is of mountainous proportions, so that it is very desirable that there be
simplicity of method. The method therefore has been to lay the observable everyday facts
alongside the Program, to see if they agree. It will be time enough to take up the authenticity of
the Protocols when the parallel between them and the activities of the Jewish leaders is shown.
The articles thus far printed remain unanswered. They have been denounced and
misrepresented, but not answered. A favorite evasion of Jewish editors is to say that the
statements made about the Jews could be made about any other race, and that no race could
refute the statements with facts. But these statements have not been made about any other race
and could they be ? If they were made about, say, the Hungarians, Poles, Rumanians, Italians,
English, Scotch, Irish, Russian or Syrian in our midst, could they not be met?
Not the mere fact that certain statements are made about the purposes of Jewish leaders,
but the fact that people can see wherein the statements agree with actual conditions, is what
gives strength to the statements. The same statements made about any other group would fall
because the people could find nothing to sustain them. Say-so and hearsay have no weight at all.
Neither has abuse or prejudice. If the statements made in these articles are false, they are of a
nature which can be refuted with facts. If there is no parallel between the written Program of the
Protocols and the actual program as followed under Jewish leadership, surely that can be shown.
If it has not been shown, it is because the parallel exists, and Jewish leaders know it exists.
